Sour Cream Banana Bread – The sour cream makes this bread extra moist, and the cinnamon adds a fun punch of flavor. So yummy!
I am crazy about quick bread because they are easy to make, taste amazing, and are easy to freeze. Snickerdoodle Bread and Almond Poppy Seed Bread are a couple more of my family’s favorite recipes.
Banana Bread with Sour Cream
I know you’re all thinking, “What, another banana bread recipe? I already have one of those!”
But my family enjoyed (actually inhaled is a better word) this sour cream banana bread so much that I just had to share it. I have made this recipe before, but I forgot to add the cinnamon
This really is a great recipe for banana bread. Sour cream makes the loaves super moist. No kidding, my boys and hubbie finished them off in a matter of minutes. I was lucky to get a photo. Next time I will have to hide some in my craft room so I can snack on them later in the day. 😉
This recipe can easily be made into banana muffins. I usually make a dozen muffins, and two mini loaves

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-Can I substitute yogurt for the sour cream?
Yes, plain yogurt or greek yogurt should work just fine.
What should bananas look like for banana bread?
The darker the banana, the better. They should be mostly brown at the least, but I have made banana bread with bananas that are practically black, and they have the best flavor.
-Can I make banana bread with unripe bananas?
Technically you can, but the bread won’t be as tasty. Not only are overripe bananas sweeter, they also mash really well so they are easy to blend into the bread. With firm bananas, you may end up with chunks instead, which will throw off the texture of the bread. You will need to increase the sugar by about three tablespoons to compensate for the lack of sugar in the under ripe bananas.
Can I make this bread into sour cream banana muffins?
Yes, I do it all the time. It makes about two dozen muffins, and you need to decrease the baking time to about 18 minutes.

Could you use oil instead of butter, oat flour instead of regular flour
I love these! We’ve made them four times and I usually just make 12 muffins and put the rest in a 9 x 13 cake pan so it cooks faster. I’m not patient enough to wait an hour for the loaf pans
That’s doubling the recipe… because the muffins are always all gone before the cake pan even comes out!
trying to figure out how to print a recipe without having to copy and paste to Word?????
Um, sorry, I’m old school. That’s how I do it because I haven’t figured out an easier way.
